Q
should you rev engine when jump starting
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
When jump-starting a car, revving the engine of the assisting vehicle isn't necessary and is not generally recommended. However, a slight increase in idle speed, around 1,500 to 2,000 RPM, can help if the assisting car's battery is weak. This is because it aids in generating a bit more electricity through the alternator, helping to charge your car’s dead battery more effectively. But it's important not to overdo it since high revs aren't needed and could potentially cause damage or wear to the engine unnecessarily. The focus should be on establishing a secure connection between the batteries and ensuring safety precautions. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and prioritize safety, ensuring cars are off before connecting cables, and connecting them in the correct order.
